I have a customer currently using LDSU utility to sync between eDirectory and FIM via AD LDS. We are evaluating if we can get rid of the AD LDS / LDSU and directly sync between eDirectory and FIM using the eDirectory MA. The eDirectory version in place is 8.8 SP7. Is anybody aware of any issues/challenges using eDirectory MA with that version?

Here is the list of MA's: It says that the eDirectory MA supports 8.8 but it doesn't say anything about the SP level just: Novell eDirectory version 8.7.3, 8.8.5 and 8.8.6

You could also try the Generic LDAP MA -- it supports Novell eDirectory

One thing to be aware of -- if you want to do password Sync, FIM can only go from AD to Novell eDirectory. Both MA's support password sync
